its an 86 6.9 IDI. It was torn down completely. I have Keith Black pistons that we milled down .080". I then had the pistons/pins/rods all cryo treated. Pistons have been ceramic coated on top and dry film/molied on sides/skirts/bottoms. Hastings Moly rings. Bottom end is fully balanced. Block was tanked, shot peened, maged. .030" over on the bore. .005" was taken off of the deck and the same taken off of the heads. Heads have a 3-angle valve grind with a 2* interference on the 3rd angle. Polished valves, stellite exhaust valves, comp 910 springs shimmed up to desired seat pressures. ARP studs on the main caps, heads, and intake. Delta reground cam which is not the "typ4" grind. More aggressive, and changes the exhaust side of the cam as well... completely different animal. Elgin lifters, comp magnum pushrods, 7.3 rockers. I built the entire turbo "kit" from scratch. It is a Borg-Warner S362 turbocharger, twin scroll, surge ring, ect.... Intake is a modified stock intake with the stupid "rise" taken out of it, and the pinch points in the front runners opened up. AIS Stage2 water/meth injection, 7.3 PSD intercooler with 3" piping. 4" downpipe and straight pipe exhaust. DPS stage 1 injectors and a DPS DB4 injection pump. Amsoil dual filter bypass system, Holley blue fuel pump....

If I missed anything let me know.

"DPS stage 1 injectors and a DPS DB4 injection pump"

now all the extra lift makes sense.
will be interesting to see your hp/trq curve.
i don't think the fuel economy is going to be very good though.by not very good,i mean horrible that is.

I expect towing to be in the 10-13mpg range, which is on par with even newer trucks towing the way that I do. As far as unloaded... I have no idea, and don't really care.

just an update. Finished the exhaust competely now... it is ready to all be pulled apart and taken to get coated on monday.









expansion bellows, so you can see how it does not interrupt flow



and on the other side, so it can still expand/contract

I can't tell for sure, is the water pump fully bolted on, or just held in place for painting? Just wondering how you'll line up the timing marks on the gears for the IP, or if the WP is coming back off.

Looks interesting in the flat black!

everything in the pictures are fully bolted on. I don't quite understand the confusion though. I marked the teeth that I need to mesh the IP gear with.
